Most of the techniques outlined in Making Stuff would be well within the capabilities of 10-year-olds and upwards, with a bit of help. There are clear instructions for basic sewing, knitting, crochet, appliqué and felting with a special section of things that children might enjoy making for themselves, while the origami fairy lights and the Starlight Lantern might inspire teenagers to have a go. As with Eithne Farry's Yeah, I Made It Myself (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £12.99), there is an emphasis on DIY and recycling, while having fun and creating something unique.
